Too Far West.

The President thinks California too far west te be entitled to member of the National Railroad Commission. The Presidents mental nesrsigbteiness has been the chief element in his admins tr8tion. The Pacific Coast was fairly entitled to place ia the Cabinet But the nesrsighted President discovered four men within the narrow range of his vision, representing a group of states with kindred local interests, and he gave each portfolio. The one repre- sentative of the vast territory of the northwest. between New York and the Pacific Ocean. was a second-clsss law yer, who happened to preside over the convention that nominated NIT. Cleve- land The vast country northwest of the Mississippi has no representative m the Cabinet. Now comes the erec- tion of 8 Board of National Railroad Commissioners. 10 interpret and put ID operation the interstate commerce law. The Pacific Coast is the terminal point Of several of the largest railroads. The coast has distinct interests, which no one but resident can be expected to understand. But the coast lies so far from New York that the President can not see 1t. President Arthur once spoke of the group of Pacific States as outly- ing possessions Of the United States. He did not appear to know that these States are part of the United States, and fairly entitled ss the central States to voice ID the government. Mr. Cleveland IS said to be hard man to enllghten, but he VIII probably be con vinced some time that if the Pacific Coast Is too far of to be entitled to @ Railroad Commissioner. 1t is not too far off to cost quite a number of electoral yOtes.-Call.

A Young Lady Who Takes Very Long
Maps at Short Intervals.

The remarkable case of Miss Jennie
Thomas of Oakland, Cal, attracts the
attention of physicians. Four months
ago she fell asleep, or rather lapsed
into a cataleptic' trance, and did not
awake for five weeks, except at long
intervals, when she was conscious for
only a few minutes at a time. Once
when she awoke her mother hurried to
get her some food. She had time to
make a cup of tea and a slice of toast.
Her daughter had the toast in her
hand raising it to her mouth, when she
sank back into a trance, crushing the
bread in her rigid fingers. AT the end
of the five weeks she awoke, with an
acute pain at the base of the brain,
but her faculties were in no respect
impaired, and her general health ap-
peared good, except for the symptoms
stated. The San Francisco Chronicle
states that five weeks previous to that
date, she fell into another trance, which
had continued up to that time. Her
muscles are rigid, but her heart beats
and she breathes regularly. During
this latest trance her heart has been
shifted three times by muscular con-
traction to the right side, but this did
not appear to have affected her func-
tons. 1t is thought that she is hazily
conscious of her surroundings during
these frances, because when she awake
from the former one she had some
vague recollections of what had hap
pened by her bedside. 1t is believed by
her attending physician that these
~cataleptic attacks are due to scarletinsl
poisoning during her infancy. Miss
Thomas is now 10 years of age, and
when she was II years old she was
attacked by epileptic spasms, which
continued until these cataleptic symp-
toms appeared, but have been absent
since"

A Marrying Crowd.

= JoNEsBoRo, GA. June GA singu-
lar series of marriages has furnished
amusement for the people of Fayette
County in the last two years. There
are five Handy boys and the same
number of Starnes girls. AS the
Handy boys began marrying Mr..
Starnes' daughters in succession, he
protested, but in vain, the last couple
clipping to be married here Saturday.
Mr.. Starnes, seeing himself thus out
witted, went to the house of Mrs.
Handy, the mother, and, almost by
force, put her into his buggy and, rid
ing off to Fayetteville, married her,
thus completing the circle of family
union.

Death of W. L. Crazy.

We gather the following partic-
ularS Of the suicide of Mr.. w. H..
Crazy, at Sparta, last Saturday morn
ing, from the Expositor:
Our citizens were shocked early
last Saturday morning to learn that
Mr.. Waman l.. Gracy "a prominent
citizen, had committed suicide by
shooting himself with a gun. He
and his little son, Charley, arose
about 4 a. M, and Charley, noticing
that his father looked very pale,
asked him if his shoulder was hurting
him, as he had often complained of
his shoulder. He replied, "No."
Mr.. Gracy then got his gun, loaded it
and walked out into the garden, but
soon came back. Charley shortly
after heard the gun fire, and going
out to learn the cause, found his
father lying on the ground in dying
condition, near the house. He rush
ed over to John Paul's and called
him and when they returned life was
about extinct. He had placed the
gun on the ground, after cooking it,
and leaning back against a chimney,
touched the trigger with a short polk
ing stick, the load Of small shot from
the right barrel having penetrated at
the pit of the stomach, making a
round hole about the size of a quarter
Of a'dollar. The other children were
quickly aroused and gathered around
the lifeless form of their beloved

Tiger Bill.

The circus season is over ana a num-
Der of people who have been on the
road are making their temporary head
quarters in this city. A few of the
guild happened to assemble at John
Clancy's the other day, and enter
tanned each other with "reminiscences
of their summer work.
"When we were at Orlean," said
Tom Dolphin, who was with Pollman's
circus, 1--WE picked up a gigantic lum-
herman named William Pike, who had
never been further west than Michi-
gan. We proceeded to bill him as
Tiger Bill a noted scout and re-
formed desperate. He was an awfully
big fellow but as tender as a chicken,
and wouldn't dare to shoot a cat. AT
YOUNGSTOWN we got five or six tame
Indians and painted them up to kill.
Then we started q wild West show to
top off the performance. Tiger Bill
was announced as the best shot, and,
altogether the most remarkable cow
boy of the age. He would come into
the ring, sniff, cry, 'ha, l smell Injuns,'
and then stalk stealthily along until he
discovered them lying in ambush,
when he would blaze away. and kill
all but n or two, whom he would
finish with a knife. The audience was
assured that he obtained his name from
the fact that he once killed three tigers
or the plains with one shot. He loved
to impress people with the notion that
he was a very tough cuss. Every hotel
we'd go to he'd say to the waitress in a
deep voice which you could hear all
over the room:
"Bring two pounds of raw beef and
a pint of blood
"The girl would reply that she
couldn't get the blood, and he would
resignedly ask for milk instead. The
raw beef he ate right along. l don't
think he liked it, but he worried it
down in good style. After a while, in
addition to his wild West show act, we
got him to do feats of craftsmanship.
He would knock the pipe out of the
mouth of the man smoking it or brush
the ashes off a cigar with his trusty
revolver. The weapon was loaded with
blank cartridges, and the moment he
fired the other man would bite the
pipestem in two or bite the cigar so
suddenly that the ashes would tumble
off. One night when Tiger Bill had
inspired the audience more than usual
with a sense of his ferocity, he essayed
to shoot the ash off a cigar in the
mouth of one of our boys, who, for the
fun of the thing, wouldn't disturb the
ash, but kept smoking the cigar as cool
as before, Tiger Bill fired four or five
unsuccessful shots, and then the audi
ence began to laugh and hiss, and he
ran off in a rage"

No Kerosene in Grandmother's Day

H. F. B., Pacheco, Gala.
o you "Bonnie JEAN" you pref
udiced little goose! Why, you talk
as though kerosene was used in the
place of water; while not over a Ia
blespoonful is used I'M large boiling
of clothes, and there is sufficient soap
used to counteract the oil, ana no
smell of kerosene is leftin the clothes;
but they come off the line white,
pure, sweet and clean, without the
slightest suggestion of the ordealthey
passed through. They are somewhat
like the lovely pond lilies that creep
up out of the muddy depths of the
rivers and creeks (the first | ever saw
grew in Coshkenong creek, Walworth
county, Wis, and are IS pure and
sweet as purity itself, with no hint of
the mud and mire where their lovely
germs took root!
l fear you are one of those who
will stand by the old ways and ideas
for fear they may die a natural death
land they willy. You'd sooner use
''elbow grease" than Kerosene, Ell?
Did your grandpa put his grist in one
end of the sack and a large stone in
the other to balance it? In those
days they used pod augers, spinning
wheels, tallow dips, and old fireplace
with a crane thanks to Longfellow
for putting an aureole of glory around
the crane), well with asweep, thanks
to Wordsworth for immortalizing
that also). Yes, they used all those
old, old styles in my "grand'ther's"
days but, thanks to the grand era of
new inventions, we're ahead of those
times. Why, if such prejudiced peo-
pie as you seem to be ruled this poor
little planet, no one would dare make
any improvements! Iglory in all
new inventions, provided they are
an improvement on the old plans.
Don't let us be satisfied to stand on a
dead level. Let us, if possible, find
out where to place the fulcrum, and,
with the help of the old philosopher,
try and "move the world", even il
we have to use kerosene to oil ma
chinery.
